Ok. I have been a fan of the micro grow thread for a year now and here goes my first micro grow run I am converting an old nightstand/bookcase into a micro grow chamber



So I removed the books and made a door (I am a carpenter).





Then, I painted the inside and added venitlation


Now, it's in my room













The pics of the babies are at day 14........will keep you posted.

Nice setup! Good job converting that bookshelf! You may benefit from adding another 2 cfl's to the grow. You will find that it will add to your plants exponentially! PEACE

nifty little grow box !
like navigator says, more light would be a benefit. if you cant squeeze 2 more bulbs in there, maybe you replace those 2 with more powerful ones ?
keep up the good work.

Nice and stealthy man. Tagged for sure.

Just one thing:
From the pictures, it doesn't appear you have any sort of filter for odor. You should consider making a small one with some activated carbon. Because if you're successful, you're gonna have a stinky little box before you know it.

thanks for all the advice. I have been trying to find the 150w 6500k CFLs at Lowe's in the area but they are all out! I guess alot of people are doing CFL micro grows.

Here are the Lowryder2 x Diesel babies at day 17.

Today i switched the bulbs to 6500k and added another one. Now it stands at 300W. The size of the cab is 15"L x 15"W x 22"h. So, that is a pretty good amount for such a small space.





Day 19

sounds good, but it's normal procedure to use the lower rating when discussing cfls .
300 real watts in that box would probably fry an egg.
happy growing !
